Abstract: An ultrasonic system for measuring the volume of liquid in a container (65) having a lid (73) in which an ultrasonic signal is emitted and received by a sensor subsystem (64) located on the underside of the lid of the ultrasonic system. The ultrasonic system can measure the exact amount of liquid or the level of the liquid held in the container by processing the roundtrip time t he ultrasonic signals took to travel from the sensor subsystem to the surface o f the liquid where the ultrasonic signals are reflected back to the ultrasonic sensor subsystem. A solid state, three-phase SCR/diode bridge (96) converts a three-phase alternating current (AC) to a direct current (DC) power source f or heating the liquid in a boiler subsystem (57) prior to its transport to the contain er. A second, triac controlled heater (86) is powered by a single phase of the three phase power source, and is used to warm and maintain the liquid held within the container at a constant temperature.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed to provide security for user input in which a first, host operating system is used along with a second, high assurance operating system, where the first system provides at least some of the infrastructure for the second system. Two modes are presented. In a first mode, user data is passed to the host operating system. In a second mode, user data is retained in the second operating system for the use of the second operating system or processes running on the second operating system. Transitions between the nodes can be accomplished according to hypothecated user actions such as keystroke combinations, or when the user performs an action which indicates a programmatic activation of a process running in the second operating system. Where shadow graphical elements are run by the first operating system to indicate the location of graphical elements from processes running on the second operating system, this programmatic activation may be indicated by programmatic activation of a shadow graphical element.
